Welcome to Vermont

Things to Do In & Around Town

While we know you’ll want to spend the bulk of your time in Vermont meeting, greeting, schmoozing, networking, and generally establishing your dominance in New England’s cannabis landscape, you may also want to take a quick break and explore a bit more of what the area has to offer.

While hardly a comprehensive list, this might spark some awesome adventures – or at least some light, non-convention pleasure. Have a great time – and welcome to the Green Mountain State!
